Any chevy dana 60 will fit. Available 77 and up. There are single and dually dana 60s. The hub is different. The easy way to identify a front dana 60 is it only has 3 u-bolts holding the axle to the springs (has 2 studs for one side).

Front D60's can range from finding one for free (a miracle) to brand new of over 2000.00
most average used fronts go for 800-1500. Good luck

try looking around before you look for just the axle. sometimes you can buy a crappy and rusty K/30 for cheap then part it out and make $$$. Most common configuration I've seen is 454/TH400/NP205, with the D60 front and 14bff rear, and all these parts are (obviously) desireable.

My Dana 60 came out of an old 1985 military 1 ton. It fit just perfect. Price can range like drink2mny said.

So far everyone is right about the prices. A rebuildable D 60 front starts at about $800. I got this one for that and it had good internals and that was it. I replaced everything but the r&p and the axle shafts. I had to cut the axle u-joints out with a gas hatchet to replace them. It cost me around $500 at Orealiys to make it road worthy.
 Here it is installed in the truck.

I recently bought my 60 front 14 bolt rear combo with 4:10 gears for 400 bucks. I think I got a better then adverage deal though. They came out of a 80 k30. I installed the front end no problem, just had to get differnt spring plates and brake lines. The rear I have to narrow the spring pads a touch but otherwise shouldnt be a problem.
